I found this to be one of the more difficult covers to figure out. It's not clear to me what the cover is trying to say, and it feels like a series of disconnected story elements thrown together that would only make sense to someone familiar with the game. On their own, each of the images conveys enough of a sense of story to result in a better than average score for that factor, but they don't come together in a meaningful way for me. There's some kind of dinosaur-like monster, a masked gunman with what looks like antlers, a girl who seems out of the old West, and some vaguely futuristic technology with wires hanging out. Some of that stuff doesn't belong in the same era, so is this a story about time travel? Just looking at the cover, I have no idea.

As for the artwork, the individual images all look good, although the overall presentation seems somewhat arbitrary. And the uniform coloring doesn't really serve to tie the images together.

Lastly, there's not much to say about Originality. It's a somewhat novel presentation, but still not much more than a collection of images, and not enough to warrant a high score in that factor.
